Today Radio Venceremos is a commercial radio station called la RV. Perquin is
surrounded by coffee plantations and green pine groves and hosts an annual festival
that takes place during the first week of August.
Perquin a Peaceful Town
The scenic mountain town of Perquin offers visitors a unique combination of
history and natural beauty. Located in the area of guerrilla control during the civil war
known as the "red zone", Perquin was known unofficially as the guerrilla capital
during the conflict. It was often the site of meetings of the leadership of the Frente
guerrillas and, after the cease-fire, of important events on the road to a permanent
peace.
The Museum of the Guerrillas
The Museum of the Salvadoran Revolution, located right in town, recounts
the experience of the guerrillas during the civil war, utilizing hundreds of photos,
documents, and weapons. Founded by a group of ex-combatants in Perquin just
after the civil war, The Museum of the Salvadoran Revolution, Homage to its Heroes
and Martyrs tells a first-hand history of the 12 years of armed conflict that divided
this small country. The exhibits focus largely on the experience of the guerrillas of
Morazan.
What to see in the museum:
The Museum is divided into five major sections: the causes of the war, the
international solidarity effort, life in the guerrilla camps, the peace accords, and
the Radio Venceremos. This last exhibit is located in the very spot from which the
guerrillas broadcasted their famous radio program during much of the war. The
museum also boasts the wreckage of the helicopter of Colonel Domingo
Monterrosa, alleged author of the Mozote massacre of 1981, and a great story to
go along with it.
